Tech Tips: The NAG Fortran Library, Random Number Generators and Time Series Analysis

Random Number Generators

New in Mark 20 of the NAG Fortran Library was a (pseudo) random number algorithm that makes up to 273 independent generators available. Two quasi-random number generators are also included. These can be particularly useful for multidimensional Monte Carlo methods.

Time Series Analysis

The Time Series Analysis Chapter includes a number of routines for parameter estimation and forecasting for univariate regression GARCH, asymmetric GARCH and EGARCH processes.
